South is up in this image, more info below.
Here we see the battered southernmost limb
of the moon, at just over half waxing phase. The large crater
on the terminator just emerging is the second largest crater
on the moon, Clavius. Tycho is just above it with the obvious
central peak. This is the source of the massive ray system covering
the globe seen best during full moon.
